About book
A $23 million stablecoin balance appears on slide fourteen of a quarterly review — and nobody in Group Finance had been told. So begins the story of Richa Nair, a CFO confronting the question every finance leader will soon face: who governs digital assets when they arrive on your balance sheet? The CFO of Web3 is a practical governance manual disguised as a story — covering stablecoins, accounting treatment across IFRS and US GAAP, a sixteen-jurisdiction regulatory passport, audit evidence, shared services as the governance bridge, and a ninety-day build plan. Written by an operator, not a theorist, it translates blockchain into the language of auditors, boards, and controllers. For the finance leaders who intend to govern the transition, not be governed by it.
